RED FISH SHORTAGE
Strong Position of Canned
Salmon Market.
ONLY TWO MONTHS' SUPPLY
Decreased Puck Compared With
Meaily Increase rn Output of
Leading Vegetables Foreign
Demand Growing Again.
Eastern trade reports concur In noting ths
strong position of red Alaska almon. It Is
estimated at JCew Torjt that the total supply
In Jobbers' and packers' hands. In this
country Is sufficient to cover requirements
for only two months at the present rate of
consumption. The Kelley-Clarke Company,
in a circular, gives some interesting com
IarlaoM of salmon packs covering a period
of seven years, end contrasts these- figures,
which show a steady decline In "output dur
ing that period, with the steady Increase of
production in the three principal staples In
canned vegetables. They say:
"With apologies for dropping Into figures,
we venture to offer the following, . the basis
of faith there Is in us: ,

Why hasn t this siiortage- snown usen in
higher prices? There are two important
reasons: First, the pack of cheaper, lower
grade fish has Increased and in a measure
has filled the gap. Second, the canned beef
scare in 1906 kilted our market in the
Vnlted Kingdom. Imports of canned salmon
.fell from J. 200.000 cases to C3S than 4K,
000 cases per annum. Average monthly de
liveries from Liverpool public warehouses
for the seven months on from June,..' lOOtJ.
fe.ll to 18.717 cases, as compared wltha
monthly average of 43,770 cases for the pre
ceding seven months.
What am conditions now? Both domestic,
consumption and foreign." exports of- pinks
' and chums have increased steadily and rap
idly. Annual requirements for these grades
are now In excess of 1,000.000 cases, we
cannot pack that quantity. We havethls
year, but we can't do it next year. The
small carry-over (less than 200,000 cases)
added to next year's pack cannot possibly
reach 75 per cent sf a normal demand.
In the United Kingdom conditions art
again almost normal. The scare is over.
November deliveries at Liverpool were 39,-"
fiRO cases, the largest for that month since
1902. Prices have advanced from lts d
17s In January, 1907 to 21sig21 6d In Jan
"uary. 190S. Stocks at Liverpool are-at the
lowest point since 1901. The United Kingdom
look hut S7.317 cases red Alaska from our
lftOfl pack, and have taken about 240.000
cases from our 1907 pack, and would take
more If they were to be had. -
With this great market coming ' In for
7fi0,00 cases tq 1.000. (JoO eases tall grades)
annually, and with the pack' steadily- de
creasing, what is going to happen? Wi
believe next year will bIiow a shortage of
all grades without, exception."
STOCKS OF ORKGON PRCJTES LIGHT.
Allen Kstlmatrs Holdings at Lees Than 65
Cars Trade Moderately Hunylied.
W. G. Allen, of the Allen Fruit Company,
of Eugene, who Is now at New York on. a
visit to the Eastern fruit trade, has made
the following statement to a trade. Journal
on t he situation in Oregon prunes:
The estlmftted holdings of Oregon prunes
on the coast are between 40 and 5 car
loads, of which not over five cars are-, held
hy the growers. This is an exceedingly small
carryover when It is considerd that Oregon,
this year, had a crop of 2.1,0'NVOOO to 27.
orxi.ooo pounds the largest in the history 'of
the state. I ilnd that mall stocks are being
carried by Jobbers in all the Important sec
tions of the country, and In many cases the
small jobbers are beginning to buy to meet
their trade requirements.
Prunes. I consider.-' are in a good position
and here should be some advance In prices
hetore the active Spring trade sets It The
s;ock of Oregon prunes now left off the
Coast Is made up of sizes 40a and 50s and
sellers quote a I'st.ic four-slxo bag basis
f o. b. for prompt f-hlpment. It is probable
that the nex.f season's crop will bo a small
one. for the Winter has been mild and un
favorable for the trees. We rarely have two
full crops of prunes In succession.
ONION MAKKETS ARE OFF AGAIN.
Ijtrge Receipts nf KaMrrn Mock Cause
Weakness.
The onion markets all along the Coast are
heavily storked and the feeling In the trade
is weak. Large arrivals of Kastern onions
In California have caused the trouble. Some
rf these Eastern onions have arrived in
poor order, but others are or high quality
and come Into d'rect competition with Ore
gon!. The latter -ere now quoted In the
Southern market at $2.."0 ; 2.63, and In view
of this deduction, buyers here are not offer
ing more than $2.25. Growers generally are
holding for the former price of $2.50. The
potato market Is dull and weak here and
in San Francisco.
, Freeh, produce was In demand and good
progress was made In cleaning up the
previous, day's receipts. Among the arrivals
were a car of Los Angeles cauliflower and
a. car of Northern California oranges. The
receiver of the car of celery rejected Mon
day, got a reduotion on it, and part of it
was put -on sale Another car of celery Is
due today. An assortment of steamer veg
etables Is expected this morning.
WHEAT WEAK A'li DEOUXIXO.
No Further Business Reported In Export
Flour Trade.
The- wheat market was dull and wak
yesterday. Borne dealers quoted values
lower, and unless there Is a change In the
foreign wheat situation today, there will be
a general decline In prices bid.
No further developments in the Oriental
flour trade are reported beyond the sale of
4300 tons to Siberian and North China buy
ers, announced Monday. This business was
made possible by the advantageous freight
rates to thr.se ports and the decline in flour
prices on this side had no ccmneetlqn what
ever with any war scare In the south of
Etlrope.
Wells But Imbrie nop.
Very little business was reported in hops
yesterday and only a fow buyers were- in the
market. Among the purchases was the
Imbrie lot of 200 bales at Hlllsboro. which
was secured by Ernest Wells..

Gould Shares' Touch Lower I.fvcl
Than for Many Years Past. "
Sharp Declines In Bonds
. on Heavy Trading.
NEW YORK, Feb. 18. rlie short con
tracts which were put out in yesterday's de
clining stock market made the source of the
demand which carried prices toward re
covery today. "The bears were prompted to
cover partly by the lack of verification of
some of the rumors which helped to carry
prices downward yesterday", but more de
cidedly by the fact of file decline offering a
small profit- in the buying of stocks. The
market dwindles to narrower proportions
from day to day. and the professional trad
ers are eager, therefore, to take a quick
profit when It offers. The recovery today
was spotty and interrupted and there were
points of continued weakness In the list. As
the recovery proceeded, the demand lessened
and left the trading at times In a condition
of stagnation.
The news of the day offered no evidence
of important changes in the" conditions
which have led up to the present (full and
neglected market. Items" from scattered
sources, representing the resumption of fac
tory operations which, had been suspended
on account of the financial depression,
promrted a belief m a gradual recuperation
in the Industrial, conditions, but the con
tradiction of additional curtailment in other
places or other lines of Industry leaves the
situation unsettled as to the progress of
revival.
The copper industry is a center of depres
sion, and securities of companies Involved in
It are showing lower prices In some cases
than prevailed -during the panic episode of
last Fall. That metal declined again today
both in London and at the New York metal
exchangei . 'and accumulating stocks in
Europe threaten a discontinuance of the
only -demand that has been a faotor of any i
Importance in the trade for some time past.
Discussion was kept alive -also by the de
cision "of the principal steel producers to
hold prtoes. Reports persist in the financial
district of a possible reconsideration of this
determination by the leading steel Indus
tries. A reason given for holding prices at
the present time is the unlikelihood of lower
prices attracting effective demand from the
railroads until conditions are propitious for
the financing of the purchases of material.
Securities of companies with large matur
ing obligations to meet, and which have
shown at the same time heavy inroads In
the rate of earnings, continue to suffer in
the price showing in the market. The Gould
stocks, especially Missouri Pacific, sold he
low 34 today, touching ,a lower price than
for many years past.
' There was a Qomjnon downward tendency
In discount rates in ' London and. on the
continent, which was to the advantage of
Investment securities. Foreign exchange
here, . however, made a further strong re
bound, bringing the advance from last
week's figure for demand sterling to fully
one cent in the pound. There is also a dis
tinctly stronger tone In the local market 'for
time money. The transfer of funds remit
ted from abroad for subscriptions to the
New York City bond issue, and for which
bids :were unsuccessful, is given for prfrt
explanation of the movement . of the ex
changes. - There was active trading in the New York
City bonds "when issued' at a recovery in
price. Sharp declines occurred In Individual
bonds, making the tone irregular.- Total

World's Visible Supply Too Larg

Xcw York. t
CHICAGO. Feb. 18 The wheat market
was weak all day and prices declined nearly
2c from . the close of yesterday-. At times
there were moderate rallies on covering by
shorts, but sentiment was exceedingly bear
ish throughout the day. .The decline was
re-used by extreme weakness in neArly all
the principal wheat markets of Europe and
by liberal Increases in the European and the
world's visible supply, the gain 4n the latter
being estimated at 4. lOO.OOO bushels, com
pared with last week. The market closed
weak. May opened ac to llVic lower
at 91Vi(jU2c. sold off to 91c and closed at
81ic
Weak cables and the decline In wheat
brought about a slump in corn of almost lo
from the close of yesterday. All of the loss
was regained, however, on active demand by
shorts, which was based on small primary
receipts ar.d the severe snowstorm, which Is
expected still further to limit the move
ment. The market closed firm. May opened
c lower at 5950;!c. advanced to 60c
and closed at eOV-c. Local receipts were 143
cars wlfii none of contract giade.
Oats were weak In sympathy with wheat,
sentiment being bearish all day. May opened
He lower at 52Vic and closed at 520.
Local receipts were 340 cars.
Provisions were firm because of buvlng by
local packers and a Sc advance in live hogs.
At the close May pork was up 12ic at
